Both use __SC. Since __* is sort of private namespace I've choosen to fix
this in the driver. For consistency I decieded to also change __UNSC to
UNSC.

Kernel-sync:
This patch is required to allow compilation of the tree with kernel
2.6.19.
This is the original description of the original patch, signed by
David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>:
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.
The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.
Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.
This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
And put the old one back at the end:
set_irq_regs(old_regs);
Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
- update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
- profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
+ update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
+ profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
(*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
the input_dev struct.
(*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
pointer or not.
(*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
irq_handler_t.

Apply the relevant parts of a patch from Pete Zaitcev <zaitcev@redhat.com>
kernel-sync:
Original description:
The purpose of this patch is to split off the case when a device does
not reply on the lower level (which is reported by HC hardware), and
a case when the device accepted the request, but does not reply at
upper level. This redefinition allows to diagnose issues easier,
without asking the user if the -110 happened "immediately".
The usbmon splits such cases already thanks to its timestamp, but
it's not always available.
I adjusted all drivers which I found affected (by searching for "urb").
Out of tree drivers may suffer a little bit, but I do not expect much
breakage. At worst they may print a few messages.

Now, drivers/media tree is complete. Only missing zoran36120
since this won't work and it is a good candidate to be removed
from kernel soon.
